A6/A9

experimental short

"A peaceful landscape is becoming engulfed by endless concrete reptiles. Their multiple-laned tarmac skins are melting enormous constructions of insanity. When two of these creatures meet, more terror is about to hatch."

The three minute long 3d animated experimental film was produced at the 'Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg' during 'Filmgestaltung 1' tutored by Professor Jochen Kuhn. The film was written, directed and animated by Johannes Schiehsl. It was screened at the famous Annecy festival and received the jury award at the prestigous Asolo Art Film Festival.
